[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthV:
I ended up flashing the 'official' bell JL2 firmware through Odin and had the bootloader box ticked. If you haven't updated your phone with the bootloader fix in the past, you might want to save yourself future headaches and do it.

I went from stock 2.1 (JH2) to Doc's various ROMs and had my phone get to the point where it wouldn't fully boot. Flash a new DOC and 2 weeks later it would go tits up again. Got to the point where I coulnd't get ANY rom to fully boot. After flashing JL2 through Odin with bootloader fix, my phone, under seeARM's 0.3 JL2, has been stable for over 4 weeks.

...Just don't freaking buy that JIG! It's made about 10 minutes and its working like charm.

This JIG is "must have" product for all SGS owners.

3x of 100K ohm resitor I used. 301K ohm not necessary :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bristolian:
I had similar issue with my wifes galaxy.

solved:

Download ADB to your pc, and extract to folder named ADB on C drive.

open command promt and direct yourself to this folder

run the following command while phone is on and connected to computer: adb reboot

phone should then reboot normally

other commands are; adb reboot download (for download mode)

and; adb reboot recovery (for recovery mode)

iam not freaked out buying it, iam freaked out it might not work. Hard without my Galaxy S. Hate to wait for the jig cable for week or two and then its not working.

I could send it till to bell because it still under warranty. Just to want to make sure it will work. It would save me 2 weeks of waiting for sending it to bell.

Have to use motorola pebl :mad:

Sorry,I was not correct enough. I ment that You should make one your own JIG.. Don't buy it from stranger,because it might not work. It us easy to made,under 15 min and first af all,cheap. Try to find local electricity shop for a few resistors and a micro-usb from a mall or place like that. U can find them easily.

Flash stock 3 file eclair firmware with repartition and as I always say: recovery mode tend to be in need of some good old random button mashing after initial combo. I have a healthy resume of at least 50 soft bricks and some total meltdowns to back that statement up. I do plan to try getting my phone replaced soon because my hardware buttons are worn as hell. Bad chip from the assembly line or two seconds on grill in my micro wave oven? Who will know?

Good advice, but not everyone can / can be bothered to make their own. Plus, the jig in the link I provided doesn't cost much more that buying the bits and making it yourself! I bought the parts (after hunting for ages for 301K resistors) and ended up buying one on ebay anyway as I never got time (couldn't be bothered!) to make mine up! Maybe I should make it and sell it :D

[Q]i9000 bricked?

Long story short

Everything work great until yesterday. the phone did not find the usb even I mount it (under custom rom). The usb is charging the phone but can not recognized it. And small little things going strange. I then re-flash the rom and re-boot the phone. Now everything pop up automatically and need to force close everything. I then get into recovery mode and try to wipe/factory reset and got the below msg:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110(file exists)

skipping format

It seems I can't factory reset the phone and load into the os. And now the phone stuck in the Galaxy S I9000 screen.

I can get into recovery mode and download mode. Just the odin or the computer won't detect the usb and I can not flash a new rom now....

Do anyone has similar situation?

Please help, this is my first Android phone and I love to see it back to life. I am going crazy now

Running darky's Resurrection Edition before this happen.

Anyway,i gave it to the Repair Shop sometime back,the guy told me he had to revive it using JTAG,but unfortunately he tried his level best but couldnt manage to revive it,Told me he was using the ORT BOX for JTAGing...

He also said tht he was waiting for the correct software from ORT Support for this particular i9000(??),dunno wat that actually meant....but the guyz at ORT support as i read it online on a few places suck when it comes to providing Support!

So i am askin u guyz wat shud i do now? Therez another guy who has this RIFF BOX,shud i try my luck with tht? Guess i dont hav any choice either :s..

well if its still under warranty just let samsung fix it. you may be without your phone for a week or two, but if you start trying to fix it yourself and they find out.. its highly unlikely they will fix it... and blame you for the cause. so be careful
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
are you putting the phone into download mode THEN connecting the usb.... Also make sure Kies is not running in the icon tray on your pc, and also try a different usb port,, if still nothing, make sure you have the latest drivers...

Does kies detect your phone ?? uninstall kies and re install kies, to make sure the drivers are up to date...

then when that is done, try to flash I9000 >>>JM8<<< firmware as this will restore the 'dbdata' and stop the boot loop. :D

Yea i have the same problem with my samsung galaxy s i9000, i used root uninstall to uninstall my stock swype keyboard because it would freeze when you type a long message, then i couldnt get any other swype keyboard on my phone because they kept force closing after installing them,

Decided to go back to stock swype keyboard with my android 2.2 froyo, so used odin and my downloaded froyo 2.2 firmware and failed on zimage, so i disconnected the phone turned it on and saw a pc image and cellphnone and connection between the two !!!! I was still able to get into download mode and tried flashing firmware again but my mistake was selecting re-partion!!!!

Successfully installed but went straight to recovery after and says my internal storage is not yet prepared, could not mount DBDATA and could not mount /dev/block/stl10

Thanks for your reply. the problem is the usb is not detecting even I manually mount it as mass storage, computer shows no drive. it just like plug the usb for charging only, nothing else happen. I even tired on debugging mode on and mount the sdcard. Still no drive shows but just charging. And now today, after I turn the phone off and plug in for charging, the screen will freeze when load up the battery screen. no clue...

No kies running, I put in download mode, open odin and connect the usb. nothing shows up like I did nothing. my kies is the updated version (2.0??) and I also tried the driver from darky's thread. Nothing happen...

I wish I can connect the usb and just flash another stock rom to make it run again and do whatever flashing after.....

Then I looked at a colleague's laptop and his laptop looked at me, and I decided to try, just so no one could say I hadn't tried everything. And his laptop recognized my phone! I freaked out! So I installed Odin in his laptop and flashed my phone. I'm so happy!

galaxy s i9000m bricked???

Last night my phone refused to turn on , had to pull the battery and wait a minute , replace it and than it came on and seemed ok. Today the phone was acting real sluggish so I decided to return it to my stock firmware like I have many times before , this time something went wrong. After it completes the flash in Odin and goes to start it just keeps flashing the samsung word over and over and over. Pull battery and same thing , flashes until i pull the battery, I have tried odin again 5-6 more times , says successful using all the right options and I get the same thing.

For fun I chose to repartition with pit513 instead of usual 512 and it goes alot further after , tries to boot up and when it should load the main screen sits there black screen and vibrating. I have lost recovery mode but still have download mode.

What can I do with this thing? I have been trying everything to get it past the flashing on 512 pit and the vibrating blackscreen on 513 pit:(

[Q] Urgent! Samsung Galaxy logo flashes on and off. Is it bricked?!

I had my phone since it launched pretty much and it was working fine with official 2.2 froyo for months.

I was about to sell my phone tomorrow so I factory reset it and when it booted up, it was working fine and made calls fine.

Then I took out my sim card and rebooted it and now the phone won't boot up. Now it just shows the galaxy s i9000m logo flashing on and off.

It was from bell and had 2.2 froyo, unlocked and with no lag fix or any other mods.

Can someone please give me a quick link to a fix if there is one because I need to figure out a fix or else I will have to cancel the sale of the phone. I know a lot of people have different circumstances and I'm not sure which one mine would be under.

what the one above u was trying to tell u is, that u should use forum search cause there are so many step by step guides on xda. and u shouldnt flash anything without knowing what u r doing.

but since im in a good mood today:

go to

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/auth/login?why=pw&try=1&wp=1&next=WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm

and download a 2.1 rom

then download 512.pit

after all is downladed u have to un-rar the firmware.

i asume since u "bricked" ur phone while flashing u already have odin on ur pc so open it after u made shire that kies is not running (not even in background.

now select the 512.pit in the field where it sais pit.

pit=512.pit

phone=modem

csc=csc

then there should be 1 free field and 1 package not used yet (i thik its called code) anyhow just put the last file in that empty field.

now u can boot ur phone i download mode and connect it to ur pc (important is that u didnt connecg ur phone before)

now just check the box where it sais re-partition and flash.

and dont get worried if ur phone doesnt boot imediatly first boot after flashing alwas takes a little longer.

ur phone should be good now, but still: use the f***ing search button;)
